Incredible home on a corner lot in one of the best neighborhoods in the area. The home features an oversized 3 car garage, a large brick-paved driveway, brand new roof, new garage doors and new Hardie Board siding. Entering the home, one would be greeted with a separate foyer, leading to open and spacious living quarters with vaulted ceilings, boasting a mechanized skylight. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors provide an airy feeling to the open-floor concept space. Immediately, the space exudes a comfortable and cozy feeling with a fireplace, formal dining area, family room, and even includes a convenient wet bar. Moving to the brand-new kitchen, one will find vaulted ceilings with yet another mechanized skylight, large bay windows, and a breakfast area. Brand new wood cabinets, quartz counters, a marble backsplash, professional 6-burner stove, an awesome island and a huge pantry can all be found in this chef's kitchen. The first floor is completed with a convenient mud room, half bath and laundry area with brand new washer and dryer. Three large bedrooms, each with their own in-suite bathroom, allow for maximum privacy. A huge lofted fourth bedroom/playroom/office area adds to the family space. If not amazing enough, the home also features a full basement with a bathroom and flex space that may be used as a 5th bedroom. The brand-new deck and patio in the spacious backyard create perfect entertainment spaces outdoors for family and friends. Move in, unpack and enjoy this unique home and all that the beautiful town of Lake Forest has to offer.
